Garbage Collection
------------------
Till now I haven't made great efforts for the garbage collector (just
linked in Boehm's collector. Maybe I won't do since it seems quite
efficient (but then, I haven't yet done realistic tests; only
tests/ivars.lg and tests/lvars.lg, where all objects die very soon).
The following environment variables may be interesting
export GC_PRINT_STATS=1 reports GC activity
export GC_DONT_GC=1 Together with the first option:
shows complete memory need.
Note: A faster solution would probably be to use a compacting
collector for the youngest generation, and something else for older
inhabitants (e.g. Boehm collector; train-collector, ..).
